Originally designed to make Long Bury splices
in hollow braid (and it still works great for that), we found ourselves continuously
using these when working with Parachute Cord.It especially proves its value when back splicing braids and completing
perfect bracelets. The specially shaped music wire loop is strong and springy
so it stands up to the hard demands of working with Parachute Cord.We added the lanyard loop on the newly
redesigned model so that you can add a lanyard.

Did you know this tool can also be used to to splice two strands of Bonnie Braid together? Yep:

We are very excited to have our book ParacordOutdoor Gear (Fox Chapel Publishing, 2014) featured in the January/February
2015 issue of “Scouting Magazine.” Paracord Outdoor Gear continues
to be a best seller and Boy Scouts of America has taken note of the perfect
blend of beginner information as well as more advanced techniques. It has
been sold out for months on Amazon but we still have a few copies available. "Scouting Magazine" is available to read for FREE from their website: scoutingmagazine.org. Just click the icon in the upper right on their site to read.

We had a lot of excitement around this Parachute Cord Tool Bundle during our Post-Turkey Day BLITZ Weekend. We've decided to keep it since we 1. Sold out quickly (oops!) and 2. Have had several additional requests for the bundle. Not only does it make a great gift, but it's a great package deal for the paracord enthusiast or beginner. Although we are currently temporarily out of stock, we are re-building and we will have more to offer soon.
